Probably not, Jim, but there could be an advantage to pulling the
engine. to look stuff over that you can't normally see. like rear main
seals, back frost/expansion plugs. parts of the drive assembly etc.

Based on preliminary advice from 2 members of this NG I may be looking at
replacing the exhaust manifolds and risers on my 4.3L 1997 Volvo Penta.

The engine compartment on this boat is small and even an oil filter change
is difficult.

Knowing that does the replacement of the manifolds and risers mean the
engine has to be pulled? The boat is a 1997 Glaston GS209.

TIA!
